Severe weather was expected across the Central Plains between March 24-26 due to the conjunctions and oppositions of Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus.

Here's what happened.

The National Weather Service report for March 24-26 carried these warnings:

Severe weather possible for the Southern/Central High Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley through Friday...

Prime conditions for the spread of wildfires across the Southern/Central High Plains...

The following Weather Channel map for March 23rd shows the approaching storm system.

Here's another snippet from the NWS for March 25:

Rain, heavy at times, and thunderstorms are expected as a result along and just ahead of the cold front over the next couple of days as it advances eastward. Some of these thunderstorms could be
strong to severe. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined a small region that stretches across east TX and the Ark-LA-Tex region as being in an Enhanced Risk for severe weather this evening and
overnight, with conditions favorable for producing damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.

The next Weather Channel map shows the storms progression eastward on the 24th.

A quick look at next weekend (March 25th) shows an interesting setup in the previous solar eclipse chart of February 26th waiting to be triggered.

At the time of the eclipse, Mars was entering into alignment with Jupiter and Uranus. These last two planets were in very close opposition, and Mars was entering the picture as it conjoined Uranus and opposed Jupiter. The astro-locality map below shows the positions of the three planets in question.

As can be seen, the grouping of planets affects the central U.S. from eastern Texas through the Central and High Plains. The Mars-Uranus conjunction is likely to affect the area with a strong low pressure area and heavy rain. To get an idea, check out this previous forecast for Mars-Uranus. The Mars-Jupiter opposition is also a storm breeder as seen in these results from December 22-26, 2007. Finally, the last Jupiter-Uranus opposition was on December 26, 2016 which affected the Central Plains. The result was a Christmas Day blizzard over the Central and Eastern Plains. Check out the results here.

We can expect some severe weather to once again assail the central U.S. with a strong low pressure area, winds, and precipitation roughly between March 24-26.

The industrial revolution has tended to produce everywhere great urban masses that seem to be increasingly careless of ethical standards.- Irving Babbitt
In the classics more than in other subjects, the fact should never be forgotten that the aim proposed is the assimilation, and not the accumulation, of knowledge. - Irving BabbittMan has gained immensely in his grasp on facts, but in the meanwhile has become so immersed in their multiplicity as to lose that vision of the One by which his lower self was once overawed and restrained. - Irving Babbitt

The congregating of planetary influences over the U.S. West Coast between the 6th and 7th of January was forecast to result in a cold front issuing in stormy conditions.

On the 6th, Accuweather reported, "A large storm will affect the west coast of the United States with drenching rain, ice, flooding and high country snow this weekend into next week." Their headline ran, "Excessive rain, melting snow may cause worst California flooding since 1997." Below is an Accuweather map for the 6th.

Windy conditions were forecast for this time over the U.S. Northeast due to other planetary crossings in the experimental charts. The National Weather Service issued the following report on January 7th.

" A low pressure system deepening rapidly off the Mid-Atlantic coast
will move northeastward towards Nova Scotia on Sunday. A large
swath of snow is currently spreading northeastward from the
Mid-Atlantic states into coastal New England. As the low pressure
system continues to rapidly intensify off the East Coast, winds
near the coast will continue to strengthen as the snow becomes
heavy, especially over southeastern New England where blizzard
conditions could occur tonight before the storm moves further away
early on Sunday."

The following Weather Channel map is for the 7th.

For Western Australia, windy and stormy conditions were forecast based on a crossing of Mercury and Mars lines along the coast. Severe weather warnings were issued for heavy rainfall on the 7th and 8th. Below is a Warning Area map for the 7th.

As mentioned in a previous post, the direct station of Uranus affects the Pacific Northwest. This planet is known for its cold influence and wind-generating capabilities especially since it aligns in opposition to Jupiter...This should begin to manifest from the 29th through the first few days of January 2017.

ResultsThe National Weather Service reported the following:

December 30
...Below normal temperatures and more rain and snow moves in by Saturday (Dec 31st) across the Northwest...

December 31
...Heavy snow possible from portions of the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies...

Jan 1

...Areas of heavy snow possible from the Pacific Northwest to the northern plains and Upper Midwest...

Jan 2

...cold air is expected to remain in place as an
upper-level trough remains overhead. Additionally, an arctic
surface front will drift south through Monday, ushering another
round of frigid air associated with an arctic surface high into
areas from the Pacific Northwest to the northern plains. The
continued presence of upper-level energy will keep areas of snow
in the forecast from portions of the Pacific Northwest and
northern California to the Rockies on Monday, with heavy snow
possible for some areas.

Here's the Weather Channel's map for January 1, 2017

The next forecast focused on the Southeastern U.S. and Mid-Atlantic.Forecast We will most likely find meteorologists focusing their attention here as moisture is made available to fuel storms and is drawn northward over the Carolinas and into the Mid-Atlantic. The map above for January 1st also shows the stormy conditions over the Carolinas and into the Mid-Atlantic.

In November 2016, I ventured some long-range weather forecasts for the period between December 19-30, 2016. The first period, December 20-29, specified the southern California area and West Coast States in general. The forecast called for rainy and blustery conditions. Here's the original forecast map showing the planetary influences that would congregate over the area.

Results
The Weather Channel map below shows an intense low pressure system setting up over California. The National Weather Service's headlines for December 21st through the 23rd reported the following:

The next portion of the forecast was for December 26-30. At this time, the long-range forecast called for gusty winds and storm conditions to plague the Central and Eastern Plains,

Results
On Christmas day blizzard conditions assailed the Central and Eastern Plains. Accuweather reported that this episode of severe weather would threaten lives from Texas to Iowa bringing everything from large hail to isolated tornadoes. As the forecast period came to a close on the 28th and 29th, high wind warnings were posted from Montana southward through Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico

The last forecast period was that of December 29th. More cold and windy conditions were forecast to close out the year and usher in the new one over the Pacific Northwest.

Results

On the 31st, the National Weather Service reported ...Heavy snow possible from portions of the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies...an upper-level trough will dig into the Pacific
Northwest tonight and will persist through Monday. At the surface, a cold front will move southward across the Pacific Northwest through the next couple days...
